im still working! still in virginia. still surviving while suffering.

but i like my life now. not the working part but the other part. the whole thing being alone...

i'm sorry. you gotta take care.

sheraton aint as good as it sounds. i think Quaility Inn wins it hands down. sheraton has no free internet in each room, no laundry room, no microwave and no free breakfast which quality inn provides. so why does sheraton charge way higher than quality inn? so people, this is a proof that branded stuff is not always the best.

thank god that i have a good personality! haha. that's why i have made so many friends. my ecuadorian friends offer to let me bunk in with them. and my bulgarian friend brought me breakfast in the morning. yea yea... i love quality inn's bagel. and im staying in caty's place almost 3days in a week. so yea....

3 more weeks...

im so ready to go home. i've got too much in my head now. it's not helping when your brother tells you, "i think you better come home now...."

probably that's the way he shows his love for you. but seriously.... it scared the shit out of me.

anyway...im exhausted. physically, mentally and emotionally.

its frustrating that when you send something to somewhere, it doesnt reach there soon enough and you have to worry that the person who is supposed to receive it, cannot get it in time. so so so frustrating. i feel fucking guilty that i didnt do enough. and its not like i choose to! i didnt even have a choice! damn fucking screwed up. argh.

and its hot. sooooo hot. i can faint anytime.

but....

i'll fall into depression if im not carefull enough. i might turn into a psychotic person... all because of you --> non-existant currently.

ahhhhh... I've been so busy! I cant believe that after the singapeas left, im being more occupied than ever. its just so ironic! shouldnt i be alone in my little room doing something less interactive with other beings?

went to the Coleman's place for a couple of nights. their hospitality was awesome. there are Caty (my friend from KD), Andrew, Christopher, William, Camdon, Benjamin, Caroline and of course mrs coleman. i love the kids to death especially the younger few. they were always sticking on to me. sometimes literally. caroline just wouldnt let me be out of her sight. and they fought to sit by my side during meal time. it was simply awesome. mrs coleman was always making sure that i felt at home. i slept in chelsea's room cos she was away in charlotteston ( i think that's how you spell it) for college. that means mrs coleman has 8 children at the age of 41. everybody say WOW! lol. the colemans have a total of 5 species of animals. chickens, parrot, dogs, cats and goats. they used to own a horse too. but Caty couldnt take care of it so they had to give it away. i'd love to talk more about them but as usual im too tired. probably another time. i'm going over to their place again tonight. am definitely looking forward to it.

i made lotsa Ecuadorian friends. picking up their culture and of course Spanish. i figured it's a good opportunity to learn that language. and if i am not wrong, brazil is the only country in south america that speaks portuguese instead of spanish.

i picked up the habit of reading channel news asia every morning. i must say its good cos i start off the day by doing something meaningful and being knowledgable makes me feel less american-ish (dumb). i dare to say that im not a frog in a well anymore. i can go up to alex and talk to him about the 8 bulgarians being exonerated. i can go up to the turks to talk about their politics in their home country. and most importantly, the big news about the 23 south koreans being kidnapped. and of course singapore's small news. yadayadayada...

i need to squeeze out time to write an essay for the anne rain-something scholarship. so that i can have a chance in winning the $1400 programme fee.

i need to go to the post office to send parcels.

i need to start finishing my food.

i need to upload photos and put them on facebook. not forgetting to tag them too before john, melissa, jeremy and angela come bugging me.

i need to find time to catch a movie with chad at the science museum imax. and probably just spend a day with him.

i need to host a cuarenta game party at my own room for the ecuadorians this sunday. gosh...

i need to plan an off day to spend the day with the colemans in the park.

i need to read up on the tour book and figure where to go and plan on my expenses.

and guess what??? with all these things on the to-do list, and me being ever so busy as i am working 7 days a week, i cant see when i can start striking them off! argh.

how great?

i wonder why im feeling so thirsty now.

btw, the transformer (not the show. please) blew and we had a power cut just now. told my amigos that i have to climb diesi orcho floors and they wish me good luck with evil laughters. i climb up to 14 floors with one breath and started to pant from then on. sigh man.

im going to drink my powerade and off to bed. argh. TIRED!
